Bring on the Zombies
7/26/2011
Recently, I was in the range trying out the new Aimpoint PRO when I wondered if my scope/rifle combination would work against a zombie horde. Since Champion introduced its new VisiColor Zombie targets at the Outbreak Omega 4 zombie shoot in July, I decided to find out.
The new VisiColor Zombie targets are all manners of cool with two different colors revealing hits. As head shots are the only ones that matter against zombies, the head splatters green when hit while the body shows a more difficult to see orange upon contact.
Beyond the cool factor of these targets, I also see the benefits for self-defense advocates, as here is an excellent tool for working on failure drills. Go ahead, slow that zombie down with a double tap before finishing the job by shooting green.
All seriousness aside, these targets are a lot of fun and are available in eight different situations including single and double attacks and even victim protection. I am now ready for the zombie apocalypse.
